She Hadn't Noticed She Was Frowning, But When The Familiar Face Comes Into View It Turns Into A Smile.

she hadn't noticed she was frowning, but when the familiar face comes into view it turns into a smile. a little of her stress elevating it's weight from her shoulders. " long time no see, " she teases in return, pretending to glance down at the watch on her wrist, " it's been about, what, four hours ? so much to catch up on. " for someone who wasn't sure if dance was truly what her heart desired, she most certainly couldn't stop herself from being here. in some strange way, dancing was now her comfort. something she's able to lose herself in for hours on end. and she's good at it too — exceptionally so. just like him. " well, i did hear that they're doing swan lake this year. and i know, i know it's a little overdone, but it's still one of my all-time favourites. " and perhaps one of the most challenging, especially considering the lead role of odette would also require her to take on the role of odile too. " but it all depends on who may or may not put themselves forward for siegfried. " nova gives him a look, her lower lip subtly pouting, hopeful and just a little pleading. it’s a look he’s probably seen a thousand times by now, but she can’t help it. there’s no one she trusts more— professionally or personally.

the first dance class back after the summer always seemed to be a silly one for the kids. some may find it surprising, but apollo had a great deal of patience for young kids. after pretty much raising his three younger sisters, he realized kids are just about the only people he did have patience for. so innocent, just doing what they were told. plus, he'd be lying if he didn't think it was a little sweet hearing a bunch of tiny voices shout MR. APOLLO !! every time he entered the studio. he bids his students farewell as he gathers his things. once he's walked out the studio he almost collides with nova. "oh hey," he begins, looking her over. "didn't expect you to be here," apollo jokes. they both practically lived at whatever studio was nearby when it wasn't the summer time. "don't tell me you've already got your eyes on roles for this season?"

he shouldn't be getting stoned. really, he shouldn't. but here he is, lazily turning towards his friend with a half-lidded gaze, and he's grinning, holding back laughter. " dude, i get you. like, really . . . i get you man. it's like if spider-man was swinging through new york, you know, but like . . . he's running low on web juice but he can't stop because he's gotta save the girl, right . . . but like, at any moment he might run outta fumes and face plant right into a hotdog cart. which, you know, hey, not the worst place to land. but i hear new york street food is like a hotspot for food poisoning. " he's talking nonsense at this point, yet it all makes perfect sense in his mind. until the only thing he can actually think about is food. " fuck, i could really go a hotdog right now. ketchup, mustard. maybe even a little sprinkle of cheese. and pickles. god, i love pickles. "

they're both laying on leon's living room floor, high out of their mind. the place reeks of weed, but they're hotboxing so it's okay. "i need to get laid, man," leon chuckles. "i feel like i'm losing my mind." he and ace are good friends and they share similar characteristics, so the blond is sure the other will understand what he means.

the reusable cup is warm in her hand as she exits the coffee shop, on her way back to the apartment she shared with apollo when she bumps into his ex-girlfriend. " charlotte, hi. long time no see, " nova smiles, genuinely happy to see the other though it is, admittedly, a little awkward. " how've you been ? " bumping into one another seems to be their thing, though before it was accidental meetings in her kitchen when she couldn't sleep. there'd been many a night they'd found themselves there for prolonged time, though it all seems such a distant memory now. closed ft. @charlottehttp

by now, waking up to rhodes in his bed is more entertaining than unexpected. for two people who claim to despise each other, it sure seems to happen semi-regularly. " figures, " kingsley mutters to himself as he pushes into a seated position, giving rhodes a nudge as a smug smirk awakens sleepy features. " good morning, sleepyhead. looks like someone’s better judgment failed them yet again, huh ? or maybe I’m just too irresistible for you to contain yourself ? " closed ft. @rhodesshephard

there’s a spring in her step, almost always is. a buzz that constantly bounces off of her as she struts around in a world that’s totally and completely her own. it’s not somewhere she frequents, not one single inch of her skin marked with ink. what she is, is a businesswoman always looking to grow. “ no actually, i have a great sense of direction. ” soon pulls a small bundle of flyers out of her bag and hands them over in his direction, design bright and eye catching just like her current outfit. “ i’m planing a mixer. you know, just a casual little get-together for the singletons of palmview, and i was wondering if you could kindly put one of these in the window. maybe hand a few out. ” noa offers him a smile, one that’s gotten her her way far too much over the years. hopes it will again as she pairs it with a doe-eyed stare. “ please. ”

hum of the tattoo machine was a comforting soundtrack in his brightly lit studio , focused on the delicate lines of a dragon tattoo he was inking onto a client’s forearm . the bell above the door jingled , and in walked @dreamerfms , a whirlwind of energy dressed in vibrant colors . seeing her in his studio caused him tilt his head in confusion , finally finishing up the piece and wrapping it for his client before walking into the small waiting area . " you lost or somethin' , princess ? " he questions her , leaning against the counter some with his arms crossed over his chest .
